Cancel ADT Security in Washington

Step-by-step guide to cancel your ADT Security subscription, backed by Washington's Consumer Protection Act + Auto-Renewal and the FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule.

Tips for Canceling ADT Security in Washington

  • 3-year contracts are standard — ETF is massive
  • 75% of remaining contract due as penalty
  • Equipment may need to be returned
  • Moving? ADT may transfer service instead of cancel
  • File BBB complaint if cancellation obstructed

In Washington: If ADT Security makes cancellation harder than signup, they may be violating Wash. Rev. Code § 19.86. Document everything and consider filing a complaint with the Washington Attorney General.
